Reyes del Aire

2009

This year's tournament was held on October 12. Breaking with the usual pattern, this was held in Arena Puebla.

At the time, it was unclear if this was meant to be the official Reyes del Aire tournament. White it was promoted using the name Reyes del Aire, this sort of annual events had never been held outside Mexico City and the list of participants more resembled a usual cibernetico than a group of pure flyers. Since no named cibernetico was ever held in Mexico City this year, Puebla's tournament has been confirmed as the actual 2009 tournament.
